that these will have to the more the bridgie will be weakened so. really don't understand your the most city that is in the west for one side trying to get rid of assad without a placement for him on the other side being afraid that these groups. because of these kinds of weapons so it's sort of nonsense. to do this we are witnessing. the issue of syria's been raised to the annual u.n. general assembly gathering this week to russia called on those who support the rebels to stop sidestepping international law and the long running question of whether iran is trying to develop nuclear weapons was also up for heated debate with israel trying to draw up quite literally a case for intervention but important in new york for us. as world leaders gathered for the annual u.n.

general assembly international anger over and islamophobia american film was still blazing in the muslim world addressing the world body u.s. president barack obama condemned the video nonetheless defending the right to free speech as president of our country and commander in chief of our military i accept that people are going to call me awful things every day. and i will always defend their right to do so obama also pledged his support for arab spring nations like egypt and libya however when egypt's new president spoke at the un for the first time mohamed morsi said free speech will not be accepted as a free pass to insult islam holy prophet. the obscenities recently released as part of an organized campaign against islamic sentences is unacceptable and requires a firm stand egypt respects freedom of expression one that is not directed towards one specific religion or culture but the opening of the un general assembly is

usually criticized as political theater with a lot of talk this year however there was no talking with us president barack obama the leader of the country hosting the un left immediately after his speech on day one and held no bilateral meetings on day to the eighth and final speech of the always controversial iranian leader so accusations of corrupt western politics and a subtle tipping of the hot to the occupy wall street movement are we to believe that those who spend hundreds of millions of dollars in election campaigns have the interests of the people of the world at their heart in the united states and in europe their voices are not heard even if they constitute ninety nine percent of their societies meanwhile israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu called for a military all tomato on iran over its nuclear program using some surprising methods to illustrate his point this is a bomb this is a fuse

minutes to fly across the border by helicopter so we helped our warriors from georgian territory from the gorge we delivered weapons money to the injured and then send them all around the world for treatment and all with the help of georgian security services and. we got the weapons from the depositories of the georgian anti terror center our guys came there with cash were able to choose whichever weapons they wanted and bought them. album of says that he is interested in jewish and milton's didn't diminish even after president saakashvili came to power and then often bridge street as an envoy of democracy. everything is still controlled by the anti-terrorist center or the mujahideen and the gym marks are in its hands they are their people any chechen who lives in georgia and wants to study in an islamic country has to go through the anti-terrorist center they tell you to believe you go to this center meet some official and they won't let you go until

hello good have you with us here to live from moscow a recap of our top stories tonight europe's engulfed in protests over driven austerity frustration over disintegrate here called amazes me the clashes with police which so school was arrested just last week. in syria and iran topped with the greats of this year's u.n. general assembly with russia calling for peace and israel drawing up plans for little its promise to launch military action before to round but upset nuclear weapons which seems mixtape tonight do it. provide students with a video link to the un he makes his first speech to world leaders will hold up in the ecuadorian embassy in london during his address to condemn the persecution of wiki leaks criticize the u.s. for a speech. to wiki leaks spokesman about the difficult time the organization's facing right now.

joining for our one on one exclusive interview is kristen robson the spokesperson for we. thank you very much for sitting down with our. reports of come out the u.s. now has officially. what does that mean for julian assange and wiki leaks well it means that he has a very serious concern that if he has actually died here you would be treated as an enemy an enemy combatant. and we all know what that entails this is an indication that we see him in documents that have sources that show that that communicating with we can loose and providing we can is with information in considered is considered communicating with the enemy which is aiding the enemy. we can use is the enemy. and what is we can use it's

a platform for whistle blower to get information out to the public we are doing what any media organization should be doing we are doing journalism and the implication is that journalism getting the truth out there is considered. an act of an enemy which is rather against the muslim or is it published. i mean i'm not trying to discredit what we can leaks is doing but. there's a difference a little bit of a difference it seems to me like wiki leaks is accepting information and publishing it they're not going through it they're not asking questions about it they're publishing and if we can leaks joining us on to others a part of weeklies decides that it's important for the public to know this classified information they will publish it so as a journalism or as a publishing it is part of the journalist to music community it is purely of course it is it is what is journalism but and the duty of journalists who secrets will

shed a light on this society really when an informed electorate and. serving the public good that's what it was doing in the world of journalism you were contributing in many ways and you can be a photo journalist taking a snapshot. before these massive leaks that have changed history in twenty ten we can use did provide context in publishing and when i go to war it was when we produced the collateral murder video in april twentieth and before it was published to put online. i went to buy it with the producer and cameraman and we investigated on the side. what had happened. we managed to show that. there were people who were stumbled accidentally upon the scene and were basically butchered it was on.
